My duties as a tutor included: the solution of exercises, the grading of weekly-submitted homeworks by the students, discussion sessions with students for questions and clarifications, a few tutorial lessons per semester inside the class, and exam vigilations. • 1997 : I worked part-time as a private tutor on physics courses for University students for a total period of six months. 10

• 1992-1998 : As a graduate student, in my free time, I regularly helped in voluntary astronomy sessions, for the undergraduate students, organised by the Astronomy group of the Physics Department at the University of Ioannina for observing the night sky with the University telescope. 14. STUDENT SUPERVISING EXPERIENCE During my career so far, I have contributed to the scientific supervision of several under-graduate and post-graduate students. In detail: Diploma Theses: • Philip Dobbs: undergraduate student at the University of Oxford during the academic year 2003-2004. I supervised his diploma thesis entitled “Brane Models: Black-Hole and Cosmological Solutions”. • Petros Kottas: undergraduate student at the University of Ioannina during the academic year 2007-2008. I supervised his diploma thesis entitled “Black Hole Solutions in Models with Extra Spacelike Dimensions”. • Thomas Pappas: undergraduate student at the University of Ioannina during the academic year 2011-2012. I supervised his diploma thesis entitled “Study of the Characteristics of Schwarzschild-type Black Holes in 4 dimensions and their generalisation in ExtraDimensional Spacetimes”. • Athanasios Bakopoulos: undergraduate student at the University of Ioannina during the academic year 2011-2012. I supervised his diploma thesis entitled “General Theory of Relativity: Applications, Solutions and Field Equations”. • Maria Tilemachou: undergraduate student at the University of Ioannina during the academic year 2013-2014. I supervised her diploma thesis entitled “Cosmological Constant: From Einstein to Quintessence”. • Konstantinos Anastasiou: undergraduate student at the University of Ioannina during the academic year 2013-2014. I supervised his diploma thesis entitled “Standard Cosmological Model and the solution of its problems by Inflation”. • Giorgos Antoniou: undergraduate student at the University of Ioannina during the academic year 2015-2016. I am supervising his diploma thesis on topics of Gravity, Black Holes and Wormholes. Post-graduate (M.Sc.) Theses: • Ben Dixon: post-graduate (M.Sc.) student at the University of Durham during the academic year 2004-2005. I supervised his Master thesis entitled “Hawking radiation from higher-dimensional black holes: the scalar case”. • Timothy Franklin: post-graduate (M.Sc.) student at the University of Durham during the academic year 2004-2005. I supervised his Master thesis entitled “Scalar radiation from higher-dimensional black holes on the brane and bulk”. 11

• Athanasios Bakopoulos: post-graduate (M.Sc.) student at the University of Ioannina during the academic year 2015-2016. I am supervising his Master thesis on topics of Gravity and Gravito-Electromagnetism. Doctoral (P.h.D.) Theses: • Thomas Flacke and Babiker Hassanain: doctoral (P.h.D.) students at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Prof. John March-Russell and myself. I contributed to the supervision of their field-work and research activity (on the implications of the existence of extra dimensions to Particle Physics and Cosmology) during the academic year 2003-2004. • Simon Creek: doctoral (P.h.D.) student at the University of Durham during the period 2004-2007. I supervised his doctoral thesis entitled “Higher-Dimensional Black Holes: Braneworld Stars and Hawking Radiation”, which led to 5 publications in high-standard international scientific journals (the articles [38], [39], [41], [42], and [43]) which have received more than 220 citations. • Nikolaos Pappas: doctoral (P.h.D.) student at the University of Ioannina during the period 2007-2013. I supervised his doctoral thesis entitled “Study of the Properties of Black-Hole Solutions in the Context of Four-Dimensional and Extra-Dimensional Theories of Gravity”, which led to 5 publications in high-standard international scientific journals (the joint articles [47], [48], and [51] kai two single-authored articles of the student). In total, these works have received more than 50 citations. • Thomas Pappas: doctoral (P.h.D.) student at the University of Ioannina. Since 2013, I have been supervising his doctoral thesis entitled “ Black Holes and Wormholes in the Context of Theories with Extra Spacelike Dimensions”. So far, our collaboration has led to two scientific articles ([54] and [57]). Finally, as a research associate, I have worked closely with the following PhD students and thus unoffficially supervised part of their Ph.D. research activity: • Seok-cheon Lee: doctoral (P.h.D.) student at the University of Minnesota under the supervision of Prof. Keith A. Olive. Our close and continuous collaboration led to the publication [25] in 2003 with the participation of his supervisor. • Chris Harris: doctoral (P.h.D.) student at the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Prof. Bryan Webber. Our particularly productive and close interaction led to the publication of the scientific articles [29], [33] and [34] without the participation of his supervisor. These three works have so far received more than 350 citations.

15. COMPUTING SKILLS For the needs of my research activities, I have used FORTRAN programs and MATHEMATICA for the solution of a system of differential equations. I have also used MATHEMATICA for tensor analysis, symbolic calculations, numerical evaluations and algebraic integration. Finally, I am familiar with graphic packages such as Gnuplot and Xmgr. 12
